Kostas Parchas Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 You know, the only language I can't read or understand is Greek. So I understand english and french, all the rest is Greek to me... Robert its OK with you, The Greek language is very nice but also very difficult and thats because of grammar. I am speaking Greek as a mother tongue, english (I believe at a very good point) and I am about to start learning Swedish. Kostas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Bryan Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Sergey Those parts are getting smaller and smaller, nice work on the detail, Are you using vanish coated wire ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergey Posted December 13, 2011 Author Share Posted December 13, 2011 Thank you, friends! Hey, Tony, I was thinking (scratching my head) about COE clach system and still can't figure out - how mechanic clach could work here? So I desided to make it pnevmatic.

Tony Bryan Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Sergey I don't think that it would be mechanical, and would more likely be air over hydraulic, I will do a bit of researching for you, I do have some old FR700 photo's to have a look through Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowtienutz Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I started using a similiar technique for the piano hinges only I used stainless wire to hold the tube in place while I soldered in place. I works much better than any finicky piano hinges from MCG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
